Google cloud fundamentals for beginners

Introduced in 2011, Google Cloud Platform is the youngest platform. Designed to meet the needs of Google Search and Youtube, it became available to

everyone as a part of the Google for Work package. It has more than 50 services and 6 global data centers, with another 8 announced for 2017. With only 5% of market share and quite aggressive expansion, Google’s moment is yet to come.

Google Cloud platform is a set of modular cloud-based services that allow you to create anything from simple websites to complex applications.

Why Google Cloud Platform?

#1 Run on Google’s Infrastructure :- Build on the same infrastructure that allows Google to return billions of search results in milliseconds,serve 6 billion hours of YouTube video per month and provide storage for 425 million Gmail users.

Global Network

Redundancy

Innovative Infrastructure

#2 Focus on your Product : – Rapidly develop,deploy and iterate your applications without worrying about system administration. Google manages your application,database and storage servers so you don’t have to.

#4 Scale to millions of users :- Applications hosted on Cloud Platform can automatically scale up to handle the most demanding workloads and scale down when traffic subsides. You pay only for what you use

Scale-up : Cloud Platform is designed to scale like Google’s own products, even when you experience a huge traffic spike. Managed services such as App Engine or Cloud Datastore give you auto-scaling that enables your application to grow with your users.

Scale-down : Just as Cloud Platform allows you to scale-up managed services also scale down. You don’t pay for computing resources that you don’t need.

#5 performance you can count on :- Google’s compute infrastructure gives you consistent CPU,memory and disk performance. The network and edge cache serve responses rapidly to your users across the world.

The Google Cloud’s intuitive interface, coupled with cheaper costs, flexible compute options and preemptible instances make the Google Cloud Platform a very attractive alternative to AWS.You can easily integrate Google’s services into your application using #GoogleAPIs.You can migrate you web application to Google Cloud Platform for better performance using #GoogleAppEngine.So if you’re starting a new project, I would highly recommend you give Google’s Cloud Platform a serious try
